Mustang Soccer will run two 10 week Futsal training programs for players on U8-U15 boys and girls teams (birth years 2005-2012). This program is for Mustang Soccer Elite teams only. While not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged that Elite players participate in this program as a curriculum supplement to the current outdoor soccer training on their Elite teams. The program will be run by Alex Lobban with other coaches participating in the training program.

Alex is an English F.A Futsal licensed coach and has been coaching Futsal since 2006. He captained Great Britain in the World University Games (2006 Poznan, Poland) playing against Brazil most notably and winning a FIFA fair play award. He also went on the win six caps playing for the Men's Senior England Futsal team playing against the likes of the Netherlands, Belgium and Lithuania. He says “Futsal is a wonderful game in its own right, it also helps to improve players in soccer as you are forced to make quick decisions in tight areas and at a fast pace. It is not just a game of flicks and tricks but a game of high intensity, quick passing, combination play and fast transitions." Alex brings a wealth of knowledge to lead the new Champions League program for the boys and girls involved in the Mustang Soccer Elite program.

Additional coaches will be Mustang Soccer professional staff that have been trained in Futsal coaching. These coaches will work under the guidance of Alex Lobban who will be directing the program.
